Mustard Addresses Speculation About Drake in Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Video
Mustard has set the record straight regarding rumors that he was trolling Drake in Kendrick Lamar’s video for the diss track “Not Like Us.” The producer was seen wearing a Toronto Blue Jays cap during the shoot, sparking speculation that it was a subtle jab at the 6 God.
In an interview with Big Boy, Mustard explained that he wasn’t trolling and that he simply wore the Blue Jays hat because it was the last one he had with his album title, “Faith of a Mustard Seed,” on it. He also revealed that the cap was a nod to his upbringing in Baldwin Village, a neighborhood in South Los Angeles known as “the Jungles.”
Mustard further clarified that he had no idea his beat would be used for “Not Like Us,” which went on to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart. When he first heard the song, he was on the freeway and was shocked to realize that it was his beat being used.
The producer’s reaction to hearing the track for the first time was one of excitement and disbelief, as he immediately played it on repeat and even showcased it at his Vegas show that same night. The unexpected success of “Not Like Us” has been a thrilling experience for Mustard, who continues to make waves in the music industry with his hit productions.
